I have solved this problem. The solution is in two parts. First, I changed the contents of the comment field in the report to this:
#UR XLSF="0.00" + Chr(34) +" Cr" + Chr(34) + ";0.00[Red]" + Chr(34) + " Dr" + Chr(34) Second I had to make changes to the XFRX.PRG - specifically to modify the OutStyles procedure of the XLSWriter class. This line lcFormatString = STRTRAN(lcFormatString," ","\\ ") had to be changed to lcFormatString = STRTRAN(lcFormatString," ","\ ") and the following three lines needed to be added lcFormatString = STRTRAN(lcFormatString,";","\;") lcFormatString = STRTRAN(lcFormatString,"[","\[") lcFormatString = STRTRAN(lcFormatString,"]","\]") I hope this may be useful to somebody else Paul Newton -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Newton Sent: 12 December 2011 15:05 To: [email protected] Subject: Problem with XFRX Hi all I am having difficulty in formatting cells in an Excel sheet produced from a VFP report using XFRX. I want the following to be the custom format 0.00" Cr";[Red]0.00" Dr" And if I type this in Excel in the Format Cells dialog it works fine. What I cannot do is get this to work by editing the comment on the field in the report. The following do NOT work #UR XLSF=[0.00" Cr";[Red]0.00" Dr"] #UR XLSF='0.00" Cr";[Red]0.00" Dr"' And fairly obviously #UR XLSF="0.00" Cr";[Red]0.00" Dr"" I am completely stuck so any ideas would be highly appreciated Paul Newton --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
